Just when Hou Jing hesitated to send troops to the north to resist Rouran and conquer Yuwentai in the west, Fennan City was as calm as water, as if nothing had happened, this northern border city was so tenacious as if it had not been baptized by war, the soldiers outside the city pressed the city, but the city was calm and calm, the people in the city and the defenders of Fennan had long been integrated, all thanks to Gao Yang's means.

For these low-level people, both sides were originally the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the country was divided because of the struggle for power and profit of the upper-class nobles, but now they are still nominally called Great Wei, so the residents of the two sides do not care which side rules them, as long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, they will support it.

In the early stage of the Eastern Wei and Western Expeditions, in order to attack the city, the means used were too drastic, which of course led to the hostility of the people, so Gao Yang tried his best to solve these dilemmas, in his opinion, not only to bind the interests of the local heroes and powers, but also to bind the local people and the defenders. Therefore, Gao Yang first accepted Zhao Feiyan, the daughter of the Zhao family, as a concubine, and then carried out grain collection and donation with the local Haoqiang in Fennan, and nakedly tied this group of land snakes together, so that not only did not contradict him, but also assisted him in managing Fennan City, and could also help do the ideological work of the people. But this is not enough, in order to better digest this city, Gao Yang also let many soldiers who have not yet married in the city marry the local people as wives and concubines, so that the relatives and the two sides have become relatives, what else is there to be guarded against, and the Eastern Wei soldiers who defend the city will not disturb the people casually, after all, they dare not mess around. In addition, he vigorously publicized Yuwentai's promise to the Western Wei soldiers to "slaughter the city on the slope for three days", which made the people in the city panic and had to fall to the Eastern Wei, at least with Gao Yang's Eastern Wei defenders, there was still a way to live.

And here, Wang Sili received Gao Yang's invitation, and he was very conflicted, but in the end he still wanted to see the defender commander who was a few years older than him, and finally made up his mind to go to the banquet, but to his surprise, the second son of the Gao family was not as handsome and domineering as he imagined, but his appearance was mediocre, and his words and deeds were easy-going. Wang Sili comes from a big family, he has been trained by the family since he was a child, and he is very proficient in the art of observing words and feelings, but he feels that Gao Yang himself can't be seen through his appearance alone, and he feels like a very ordinary person, but Wang Sili can feel the ruthlessness hidden under this easy-going from his eyes, and he feels that Gao Yang is a cold-blooded hero, and he is by no means a fool as rumored by the outside world.

Gao Yang had already learned from the spy intelligence that Wang Sili was a member of the Langya Wang clan, but he didn't know his specific identity, when he saw Wang Sili for the first time, he was amazed in his heart, his temperament was extraordinary, and his conversation was extraordinary, he was by no means comparable to the sons and daughters of the big family, but he didn't know what the identity of this young man in front of him was in the Langya Wang clan.

At the banquet, a group of young talents kept slapping horses, singing praises in front of Gao Yang, although he showed a gentle smile on his face, but his heart was still extremely emotional, Fennan as a small border city, top talents are still extremely scarce, let's just say that this group of young people under the banquet, since childhood, their mental and perseverance are far inferior to those of the poor family, and the vision and knowledge are far inferior to those born in noble families such as Wang Sili, they can only be entrusted to small officials and officials, and it will take time to slowly eliminate and hone whether they can become big talents. Maybe a few will stand out, maybe there will be nothing left, and everything will be up to creation.

Gao Yang coped with it for a while, and then hurriedly sent away the young talents under the pretext of official business, but he arranged for someone to secretly stop Wang Sili. At this time, he was staring at Wang Sili intently, and said with a smile: "You are not a native of Fennan?" ”

Wang Sili seemed to have known that Gao Yang would ask like this, and said calmly and respectfully: "A certain merchant in the south, mainly selling silk tea, this has just sold out of supplies, and is ready to return to the south, but I didn't expect to stay because of the war." ”

"Oh? The northern border is frozen in winter, the tea can be divided into four seasons, and it is understandable to drink tea to warm up in winter, but this silk is produced in spring, why is it sold in winter, the road is icy and slippery, not only the transportation cost is higher than usual, but also the silk can not withstand the cold, whether it can be sold is still uncertain, isn't it extremely risky? ”

"Yu Dashuai, the world knows that the spring silkworm spins silk, so the spring silk is the most sufficient, especially the silk in the south, a large number of silk will be produced every spring, so that there are many merchants, the competition is also large, although the price is high but compared to the winter is still not as good, especially in the north, the weather is cold, the conditions are difficult, the silk merchants are few, can be sold at a high price, the profits obtained are enough to resist other expenses."

As a businessman in his previous life, Gao Yang certainly knows the truth of this, scarcity is expensive, judging from these words alone, it shows that Wang Sili must have integrated into the role over the years, doing a line of love, but a person who can do things. "Well, it's a businessman, the mall is like a battlefield, do you think Fennan can hold it?"

Wang Sili was stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The marshal forgives the sin, a certain is just a businessman, and he still knows a thing or two about doing business, but how can he know about the march and battle, and I hope that the marshal will not be killed." ”

Gao Yang's eyes stared at Wang Sili sharply, and his body exuded bursts of murderous aura, pressing straight towards Wang Sili, this is the superior who got up from the pile of dead people, and the murderous aura emitted by Wang Sili couldn't help but feel a burst of pressure, tense up and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Gao Yang's gaze.

"Wang Sili, a member of the Langya Wang clan, didn't expect to become a merchant in the north, does it make people laugh and be generous?"

Gao Yang stared at Wang Sili coldly, he obviously didn't want to continue to waste time, although Wang Sili himself was also a talent, but he was from the Langya Wang family of the Southern Dynasty, a family and nobleman with important political leaders in the south, it was not for him to use it at present, it was impossible to let go, but it was worthless to kill, and it was better to directly coerce and lure him to cooperate with him to prepare for the next game of chess in the future.

Wang Sili was stunned when he heard this, looked at Gao Yang's eyes in a daze, and just wanted to deny it, but was soon interrupted by Gao Yang raising his hand: "Wang Sili, Ben Shuai doesn't have time to waste words with you, if you weren't a talent from the Langya Wang family, Ben Shuai would have killed you all a long time ago, and would you still allow Xu Er to be so arrogant in Fennan?" Do you really think that there is no one in Dawei? ”

When Wang Sili heard this, he knew that his bottom line had already been groped clearly, his throat squirmed, but his face said calmly: "The handsome man knows everything, so what are you going to do with me?" ”

Gao Yang saw the calm expression on Wang Sili's face, and said coldly: "Wang Sili, since the expedition, Ben Shuai has killed a lot of people, and you are not alone, whether you are afraid of death or not, if you don't continue to tell the truth, but don't blame Ben Shuai for letting you cook and feed the dog directly, but it's a pity that you died in a different place before you did anything in this good time, this is the last chance." ”

Wang Sili glanced at Gao Yang and knew that this person was real, and he would be cooked directly by him if he didn't tell the truth, but he didn't dare to tell a lie, because he didn't know how much information Gao Yang had, and it would definitely be unwilling for him to die at a young age, and it would be a pity to die before he could fulfill his ambitions.

"Alas, the marshal has long known such information, and why does a certain continue to waste words, a certain is indeed a descendant of the Langya Wang family, and his father Wang Gui is a servant of the Liang State, but he died young, and his brother Wang Bao is now the secretary of the Liang Dynasty, and he has not yet entered the WTO as an official, so he plans to do something for the family, so he came to the north to inquire about the news and make some contributions to the national family."
